Diane at Rubber 'n Rafters sent me this Stylish Blogger Award - what a great way to end the year! Along with this award came the instructions to tell 8 things about yourself. I decided to let my cards do the talking - thought you might enjoy a look back at some of my 2010 creations - the good, the bad and the downright ugly!
Let's start with The Good:
1. Tea and cake are my two favorite food groups.......
2. I love using Designer Paper on my cards........
3. I am a minimalist at heart..........
4. I taught elementary school for over 30 years and when the leaves start to turn I still long to go set up my classroom for the upcoming year.........
5. I am an avid reader and I love an unexpected twist in a plot - and an unexpected twist in a card.........
6. I love serendipity - the good surprises! When I signed up to be a demo, I had no clue where it would all lead - and how many terrific people I would "meet" in cyberspace! So thanks to all of you for your encouragement, support and friendship.........
The Bad:
7. I am not artistic at all and have many areas to improve upon - like balance and proportion. I don't know what is worse that huge out-of-whack bow or that lopsided red flower...........
And now The Downright Ugly!
8. Sometimes I just don't know when to throw in the towel and start again! I use all of my cards and usually make them with a specific person in mind. I was determined to make a key on this "Congrats on your new home" card. It is a disaster on many levels - I never did send it out!
And if you made it this far you deserve a reward! Leave me a comment for a chance to win the clear mount set - Eggcoutrements. Trying to make a key just put me over the edge - I have never used the set since! I'd love to see what you do with it for Easter! Best wishes for a Happy 2011!
I'll announce the blog candy winner on Wednesday, January 5th!
